Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

“Beauty is transient and changes with time.” – Aishwariya Rai Bachan

In the course of a woman’s life, her breasts change in size and volume. The suspensory ligaments that suspend the breasts high on the chest can become loose for multiple reasons and cause the sagging of the breasts. Sagging breasts can make women feel really unattractive and have negative impacts on their self-perception. Most female patients who come to Dr. Amiti Shah with sagging breasts have lost all hope of regaining their youthful body contour. She helps to restore their natural breast shapes by expertly performing a breast lift or a Mastopexy. Depending on the shape and size you are looking for and to ensure an aesthetically pleasing finish, Dr. Shah may suggest a full breast makeover by combining a breast lift with a breast augmentation procedure. She reminds her patients that it is your body and she is there to help you meet your goals.

What causes sagging of breasts?

In a young woman with large breasts, sagging occurs due to the weight of the breasts, which is disproportionate to the body type. In a middle-aged woman breast sagging is mostly due to post-pregnancy and breast-feeding changes that occur in the breast tissue. In a post-menopausal woman, besides gravity, the inelasticity of the stretched skin is also a factor causing looseness and sagging of breasts. The same also occurs with women who have lost a significant amount of weight, which affects the fatty tissues in the breasts causing the looseness and sagging appearance.

What is involved in a Mastopexy?

Mastopexy or breast lift is a surgery done for raising the sagging and loose breasts to give them a more youthful appearance. The excess skin is removed and the breast tissues tightened to reshape and give the breasts a firmer appearance. This surgery can be combined with a breast augmentation using silicone gel implants if the patient desires to add volume to her breasts. Sometimes the patient’s own breast tissue can be reassembled to give the extra volume needed for a fuller appearance.

Dr. Amiti Shah is always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding this procedure. Call in today to make an appointment and begin your journey towards a more natural and confident you.

Correction of Asymmetric Breasts

When the difference between the two breasts is of more than one cup size, the difference is distressing and is visually unappealing. The difference can be corrected by surgical procedures that may include augmentation of the smaller breast or reduction of the larger breast or lift of the sagging or drooping breast or a combination of two procedures. Surgery can definitely make the breasts fairly symmetrical and the difference less noticeable.

“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” – Walt Disney

Some men struggle with overdeveloped male breasts. When a man’s chest appears more feminine than masculine it can make him very self-conscious and embarrassed of his own appearance.
